Summary

Ever since her mother was murdered, journalist Macy Shaw has been subconsciously searching for a hero. She found one, but the hero she found was a Jelvia. Undeterred, she used her connections to go after the biggest story of her life. 
 
Narcifer saved a woman by merely being a Jelvia—his presence causing terror and making the assailants flee—and it amused him when his "heroism" caused a national stir, so when a pretty little red-head asked to interview him for a story, Narcifer felt compelled to grant it to her, especially when she gave all the signals that she wanted more than a story. 
 
However, Narcifer was on a job to track a scientist, and no matter where Narcifer's line of investigation took him, his search always brought back to the red-headed journalist, Macy Shaw. 
 
This book is the first in the JELVIA: NOT HUMAN series. 
 
JELVIA: NOT HUMAN books can be read as a standalone novel, although you'll gain a better understanding of the Jelvian world by reading in order. 
 
Based on the story Eden by Louise Wise.
Available since: 08/08/2018.
